to April.
I started reading her site because Izzy did, and I am so glad. April has all these great wonderful insights into the world. Also a bonus: she is often thinking the exact same thoughts as me. It is comforting to know that other people in the world are experiencing the same problems and complications as I am.
Even though I've already said this to her, I'll say it again: I love the creative art designs on her site. Her banners are especially nice. She always seems to have cool headshots (who takes all those for you, April? I know you can't have shot all of them). She also posts up lots of cool photos she's taken of the nature she finds around her.
April is an inquisitive person worthy of this biologist's admiration. She has this natural awe about everything that surrounds her. She's multidisciplinary, so even though she majored in English literature (right?), she still enjoys learning about all sorts of other topics.
April, you're deserving of the compliments. I hope your birthday goes smashingly, and someday we will meet.
